Warming up with modes of movement 2

A guided warm-up that starts off-prop, waking up joints and coordination through gentle weight shifts and breathing before picking up poi. You’ll build neuromuscular readiness while scanning ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, fingers, and head for range and control.

With poi in hand, you’ll explore turns and changing reach while experimenting with planes and timing. Drill same-time and split-time variations, shift between wall plane and other orientations, and play with big-to-small and high-to-low pathways. Nick Woolsey encourages letting planes get ‘wonky’ on purpose so you can feel how alignment changes during turns and resets back to clean positions.
